A Siberian Tiger...

A Siberian Tiger...

No worries, it isn't a live Siberian Tiger. It's a stuffed creature and this isn't his first Section 8 Chicago road trip. You see, he's sort of become a mascot, for the ISA.

Meet Phillip...

Since we still have a ways to go, I caught up with Phillip to gather his interesting story...

Jeff Crandall: Phillip, how did you come to join up with Section 8 Chicago?

Philip the Tiger: It's actually quite a long story. I'm not from this country but found my way to Chicago sometime last year. Everything is sort of a blur but if I'm being honest, I was deported from the UK.

JC: What caused the deportation?

PtP: Well, some folks played a funny prank in England. Basically I was set up as a potsie to fuel a prank on the good people of Southampton. I'm a Siberian Tiger but I do have my limitations.

JC: What are those?

PtP: Well, I'm not able to move on my own free-will.

JC: Right, so what happened?

PtP: It was a long night... Who can really remember? Those guys "Ted" and "Matthew", who I counted as my friends, left me in a grassy field in Southampton. The next thing I knew, police helicopters were flying overhead.
